Review Notes:Ugly lil' bugger, but tasty. Pulled a couple from an '05 box, and they could still use more time. They're tannic on the tongue even before lighting, but that mellows out after half an inch or so. The burn was erratic and the draw a tad tight, but the cigar is saved by a toasty, slightly peppery flavor that runs to leather toward the end. The finish is earthy and persistent. A really pleasant sweet caramel twang on the nose adds another dimension. Full bodied smoke texture, but only medium strength at most. The ash is a mess. Beastly appearance, iffy construction, but nice flavor overall.

Review Notes:Typical flavors for a Hoyo. Smoked two of my box so far, burn and construction were perfect. Starts off spicy and woody and develops into an earthy and leathery smoke. If you pay more that 7 to 8 USD you got ripped off. Overall a great Hoyo de Monterrey.

Review Notes:This cigar wasn't bad. It started off woody, then developed a creamy sweetness, and ended off earthy - which was kind of interesting, the transition in flavours, I mean. The burn wasn't the best, it tended to canoe every so often. The ash was dark grey and held for about 1 inch (if that matters to you). I woudln't consider this a GREAT cigar, only alright. There are much better smokes out there.
